Gold is Justice

squeak------!

Just as Ariel was lying in front of the window basking in the sun enjoying this moment of leisure, suddenly, a voice came from a distance.

Accompanied by a rush of brakes, an elemental vehicle just stopped in front of the guild.

The car door opened, and a person who made Ariel wait for a long time got out.

"Ariel! My Earl Ariel! Hahaha!"

The guild door was pushed open, and a short, fat, bald middle-aged man entered.

It was none other than the Viscount Rich who proposed to go to Hanhai City at the beginning of the year to give advice to Hanhai City.

After seeing Ariel, Viscount Rich ran over immediately. Before Ariel stood up, he stepped forward and grabbed the back of Ariel's hand, kissed her finger, and said, "Dear Ariel Earl, your years seem to have stagnated in the past few years, and now you still look as beautiful and charming as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, full of youthful vitality!"

To be honest, being kissed so suddenly by Viscount Rich made Ariel a little disgusted.That's why she put on the gloves early.

But after all, the other party is an old acquaintance who has helped her many times, and Ariel couldn't refuse directly, she could only nod, pretending to withdraw her hand as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Viscount Rich, you have worked hard during this time. You The Swan Castle has been cleaned by me all the time, and it is still ready to move in at any time."

Viscount Rich laughed and slapped his thigh.At this time, Suta had already brought water and placed it in front of Viscount Rich, and Rich didn't see him, so he drank it all in one gulp, and then winked at Suta, as if he wanted to continue to show off "charm".

Suta, of course, just smiled, stepped aside.

Ariel returned to her seat and sat down. She also asked Viscount Rich to sit down in front of her, and said, "Viscount Rich, I have been waiting for you since I got the news that you are coming back. It has been almost a year, you I really wronged you in Hanhai City, and thank you for doing so many things for our marginal province."

Viscount Rich smiled slyly, and said: "You little girl, your mouth is still so sweet. What can I do? I am a little Viscount. I ran to Hanhai City when I got hot-headed that day, and the result was directly I was put under house arrest, unable to go anywhere, unable to do any business. What use can I be? Sigh... the business in this year~~~ When I came out and saw the financial statement, I really couldn’t even see it. There is a heart to die."

Ariel smiled, and said: "All hardships come with sweetness, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. But since Viscount Rich is now able to act freely, I believe he will be able to earn much more than that in the future! To be honest, our guild's Tesla is currently studying how to install the element machine on those sailboats of yours."

Viscount Rich's eyes lit up: "On my sailboat? Then... Does that mean you don't need to rely on wind power anymore?"

Ariel nodded: "If it goes well, then there is no need for wind power. In this way, the speed will be more stable. Even on a windless day, I believe Viscount Rich's boat can swim around the world!"



The first thousand and 460 six chapters of the army under pressure

This seemed to be an interesting thing indeed, and Viscount Rich's eyes also showed the brilliance of expectation.

But soon, the anticipation in the viscount's eyes was overshadowed by another color.After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned his head, looked at the gate of the guild, and then looked outside through the window next to him.

Finally, his eyes fell on the members of Song of the Mermaid in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, Viscount Rich Wald finally raised his hand, covered his chest, and said slowly——

The best novels are all on LANWENS: LANWENS.COM

"Emperor Lanwan has led an army of 5 people towards the border province."

At that moment, the entire guild hall was still quiet.

On the street outside, pedestrians are still walking slowly in the warm winter sun, and everyone still has a happy smile on their faces.

It's just that in the guild hall, the Suta next to it couldn't help covering the tray in its hand, and stood there motionless.On the other side, Egg, who was playing a light and happy song, now also stopped his fingers plucking the strings, and turned his head to look at this side.

Now, only Ariel, the president, still looks calm and composed.She was still sitting in her seat, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked extremely relaxed.

However, under the table where no one saw, her two legs jerked violently at this moment, and they were tightly intertwined.

"oh, I see?"

Ariel shrugged her shoulders slightly, and reached out to pick up the water glass in front of her.But she soon realized that there was no more tea in it, so she turned her head and said to the pasta beside her, "Please add another cup."

Suta was taken aback for a moment, and finally recovered from the trance just now, quickly picked up the teapot on the table next to him, and refilled Ariel's water glass.

It's just that during the process of pouring the water, the paladin was obviously a little flustered, and a few drops of water also spilled out.

After the teacup was full, Ariel wiped her hands slightly, and said, "Menglang brought so many people with him, it seems that he didn't just come to chat with us, did he?"

Rich was surprised to see Ariel acting so calm now.But despite being surprised, there was a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

After all, the girl in front of her is completely confident. It seems that she must have been prepared long ago, right?There must be a power that can easily kill 5 people, right?

Even though he thought so, Viscount Rich still couldn't help standing up from his seat, forcibly suppressing the excitement and tension in his heart: "What should we do? Ariel, I know that you have always had a lot of good things. Idea, so you must have a good idea this time, right?"

Ariel did make some preparations.

After all, the ambiguity of the previous strategy could not remain ambiguous forever, and she also expected that sooner or later, Menglang would force her to show her cards and speak clearly.

However, she didn't expect that Menglang would choose to bring the team here in winter, which is not conducive to marching. After all, in winter, the transportation of food and the roads blocked by ice and snow are enough to make a team suffer enough.

However, this also represents two possibilities.

One is that this time the violent waves came to the border provinces and did not come in a hostile posture.He still maintains an attitude of hoping to cooperate, and may even make further concessions to himself.That's why he chose to come to the marginal province during this winter.

Then the second point... is that the strength of his army is no longer a threat in the eyes of that emperor. The next moment that emperor is sure to refuse on his side, he will immediately destroy the entire border with overwhelming force. The military strength in the province, thus regaining control of the marginal provinces.In other words, the other party doesn't need to take it seriously.

In addition to the above two points... Ariel believes that there should be one more important catalyst.

That is, the situation of the Blue Bay Empire is probably very bad at present. Such a bad situation makes it impossible for Menglang to wait until next year when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, which is conducive to marching.

However, no matter what the reason is, it seems an indisputable fact that the army of the Blue Bay Empire is now approaching this side.It is meaningless and unnecessary to doubt Viscount Rich's words, it can only make his side better prepared.

Ariel thought for a while, then nodded lightly, and then said with a smile: "Soon, it will snow. Just like before, the Marginal Province and the two surrounding provinces will be covered by heavy snow. No matter whether he has 5 people or 50 people, it is impossible to do anything before this kind of natural disaster. Don't worry."

Hearing Ariel's calm expression now, Rich's face also seemed much more relaxed.He sat back in his seat and kept rubbing his hands against each other, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it for a while.

After a long time, with Egg's fingers resting on the strings again and plucking the first string, he finally spoke——

"Ariel, what do you think...the emperor of Lanwan came to our side without hesitating the winter, what exactly is he trying to do?"

Ariel took a sip of the water in the glass, made the already not very hot water a little cooler again, and took a sip.

The water was cold, almost chilling to the lungs.

However, she couldn't cough it out, but resisted the coldness, smiled cheerfully, and said, "Instead of discussing what you think about Viscount Ritchie, let's talk about your thoughts first." ?”

Rich: "Mine?"

Ariel: "That's right, yours. You have been in Hanhai City for almost a year, and now when Menglang is about to come to Bianbian Province, you were suddenly released from house arrest and released back. I think you must be Is there a lot you want to tell me?"

Rich was stunned, staring blankly at the girl in front of him.This beautiful blonde girl doesn't look very old, and her beautiful and delicate face doesn't look like a face that has experienced many hardships, but more like a lady who doesn't know the world.

But those eyes...

There seem to be countless conspiracies and tricks hidden in those eyes that are completely impenetrable... It seems that this kind of word is not very appropriate to describe, but when he saw these eyes, Rich really felt that he was It seems that I don't know what kind of thing I am chatting with.The person sitting in front of him now seems to be no longer a girl...

It was a monster disguised as a human girl, a... immortal monster.

"what……"

He shivered involuntarily, then shrank his shoulders, then closed his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he continued to say——

"After I arrived in the capital at the beginning of the year, I was immediately placed under house arrest."

"For almost half a year, I could hardly do anything. I could only stay in my own small house, and I could only ask the servants to go out and buy me some food every day. The literate mute acts as my servant, so even if I want to ask about the outside situation through this servant, I will have no way of knowing."

"However, under such circumstances, I still feel that the entire Blue Bay Empire is going through some bad things."

"First of all, I judged it from the food my servant bought for me. Obviously, it should be the season for vegetables and fruits, but the vegetables and fruits my servant bought back were small and twisted. It's full of sand. From time to time, I can also hear all kinds of big and small noises coming from outside the courtyard, it seems that there is a (harmonious) chaos everywhere, and everything seems very bad."

"But half a year later, my servant never came back after going out once. I didn't know until the third day when another healthy person came to serve as my servant again. It turned out that my dumb When the servant went to the pier to buy fresh fish, he was hacked to death by a lunatic in the street."

"That lunatic hacked and killed more than a dozen people in a row that day. He seemed to be a former adventurer, but after the adventurer guild was completely closed, he had no income and couldn't adapt to the environment of the army. In the end, because of various The reason is that he was under too much pressure and went crazy all of a sudden, went to the street and hacked people, causing a big riot."

"Hey... that guy is really a good guy... If I hadn't signaled to him that day that I wanted to eat fish... It's a pity that I couldn't remember the servant's name..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that guy. After that incident, my imprisonment seems to have been relaxed a lot, and I can also walk around the streets by myself."

"I can clearly feel that Hanhai City, which was once magnificent, is now experiencing an indescribable disaster. The number of beggars and homeless people on the streets has increased significantly, which were originally only in the civilian areas and rich areas. However, slowly, the civilian area seems to be more and more like a slum.”

"Some fences have been erected on the central avenue that separates the wealthy area from the civilian area to isolate people from the two parties. Even the old Tengshu College has begun closed management, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."

"During this period of time, I talked to a few businessmen friends, and we all felt that the current situation was very wrong, and something was accelerating in an unstoppable direction. This feeling lasted until autumn, that is During the season that was supposed to be a bumper harvest, I suddenly found a corpse in a street corner in the civilian area that had not been cleaned up and was obviously starved to death."

When talking about the corpse, Viscount Rich's hands were obviously clenched even tighter, and his body trembled. Relying on the businessman's instinct, he was obviously afraid of something.

"Since then, I haven't gone out very much. I'm afraid that one day, like my servant, I will be hacked to death by some lunatic in the streets. But then I feel that I seem to be a little worried... After all There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, but there are more and more soldiers, and the atmosphere in the whole city is very depressing, with a feeling of being breathless."

Hearing this, Ariel felt that she seemed to understand why the emperor came looking for her at this time.

Drought, it seems really serious.

This almost once-in-a-century drought has destroyed the Blue Bay Empire's food collection this year, so the food supply is seriously insufficient. In order to maintain stability, the entire Hanhai City must use this kind of management measure similar to martial law, right?

If this is the emperor's policy, then it can only be said that this policy is very correct.

In difficult times, stricter management is definitely needed to survive this terrible drought.I just don't know how long this situation will last...

Thinking about it this way, the marginal province I live in... No, it should be said that Pelican City has ushered in another bumper harvest of wheat fields in such a drought year. I wonder if this is due to the development of the element machine?Or is it just my own luck?

After a short pause, Rich continued: "That is, half a month ago, a herald suddenly came to me and said that I could move freely. At the same time, the herald told me that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see me "" "This is the first time in my life that I saw the Emperor of Blue Bay! I just glanced at it from a distance before, but this time when I really saw it face to face, the emperor...how should I say it? He gave I have a terrible sense of coercion, just looking at him, I feel like I want to kneel down and not get up."

Ariel nodded silently. After all, Meng Lang was from the military, so it was no problem to oppress a small businessman viscount with his aura.

"That time, Emperor Lanwan personally said that he gave me freedom, and at the same time asked me to come back and bring you a letter."

"It is said that he will lead the army to the border provinces in the near future, and if possible, we can also spend the Holy Night Festival together."

"As for the reason for coming, he said that he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to meet his lovely sister in person."

"After I got the news, I didn't dare to stay at all. I got on my own boat as soon as I left the palace, which is the one you rented before, and went straight to the marginal province along the coastline. Beifeng With your help, it took me less than ten days to arrive in Tianhong Province, and then I took the elemental car of a businessman friend I knew and went all the way to Pelican City without stopping, and only then did I meet you."

After listening to Viscount Rich's experience along the way, Ariel nodded silently.

Of course, it cannot be denied that there must be some degree of his exaggeration, but some main information should not be wrong.

The emperor himself went out to fight, leading an army of [-] to this small marginal province. No matter what the emperor wanted to do, in the eyes of outsiders, it should be to eliminate the resistance in the marginal province in one go. Come from power.

And myself... Ariel Garcia, sorry, is the biggest resistance force in name in the entire marginal province.

Thinking of this, Ariel felt a little funny for a moment.I don't know if the Garcia chain store that gave me the surname Garcia felt a little panicked?Maybe after knowing this, he has been in a hurry to change his name overnight?

"Where's Garcia's store? How's their condition?"

Oddly enough, Ariel asked such a sentence.

Viscount Rich was taken aback, obviously not knowing why Ariel asked this question, and replied casually: "There is no Garcia chain store anymore, they are called Red Rose Store now. Why do you ask this question?"

Why ask this question?

Because if they really change their names, it means that the most savvy businessmen have begun to smell the danger signals and have clearly cut themselves off.In this case, one cannot be too optimistic about the arrival of the fierce wave this time.

But that's good too. From then on, the surname Garcia no longer represents things like dolls, dolls, and small toys, right?This last name will be completely and completely their own.

Ariel Garcia, from this moment on, can be regarded as truly independent.
